Meet the Dual Credit Team

Mariah's Role and Responsibilities: 
As a Dual Credit Advisor, I provide guidance and counsel to students designed to assist them in making decisions associated with their academic and/or career goals using a variety of resources appropriate to students’ needs. I conduct one-on-one or group advising sessions with students to address academic and personal concerns, create action plans for student success, and maintain relevant records to student profiles and progress. In addition, I proactively collaborate with high schools in Manitowoc County, Lakeshore college-wide departments, faculty, tutors, and academic support staff to advocate, identify, and meet the academic needs of dual credit students.

Mariah's Educational Background:
I went to University of Northwestern – St Paul and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Non-Profit Leadership and two minors in Business Administration and Marketing. I also received a Master of Arts in Ministry Leadership with an emphasis in Human Services.

It’s important to work with a Dual Credit Advisor because: 
we are responsible for helping students choose and enroll in Lakeshore Technical College courses. We provide guidance to dual credit students through career development activities and work collaboratively with high school partners (school counselors, career liaisons, transition coordinators, etc.) and Lakeshore staff to identify and address barriers that may stop students from achieving academic success.

Mariah's Coverage:
I work with schools in Manitowoc County (Hilbert, Kiel, Manitowoc Lincoln, Manitowoc Lutheran, Mishicot, Reedsville, Roncalli, Two Rivers, and Valders High School), three schools in Sheboygan County (Etude, Warriner, and Sheboygan Central High School), and out of district high schools.

Abigail's Role and Responsibilities: 
As a dual credit advisor, I work with high school students taking Lakeshore classes to help them identify their career interests and passions, enroll in classes, counsel and advise them throughout the semester, and plan for future semesters.

Abigail's Educational Background:
I graduated from Lakeland University with my bachelor's in communication and a master's in leadership and organizational development.

It’s important to work with a Dual Credit Advisor because: 
It is important to work with your dual credit advisor because we can help you identify potential career interests and find a class at Lakeshore that aligns with that interest. I love talking to students about their goals and aspirations! We also support students through the whole semester, regardless of if they are struggling in their classes or not.

Abigail's Coverage:
I work with all Sheboygan County schools except Central, Etude, and Warriner. I also serve the homeschool student population in both Manitowoc and Sheboygan counties.
